ALASKAN ADVICES.
The Schooner Dorm Brings a Go.
pi0us Budget Of News.

SAN Francesca, July 1S.-The Off
GERS of the schooner Dora, which
reached here to-day from Alaska, state
that the revenue cutter Richard Rush
arrived at Ounalaska, a few days
before the Dora, from the Aleutian
Islands, on June 30th. By the Rush
were reports that the volcano of Akou-
tan, on the Island Akoutan, one of the
Aleutian group, was in state of erup-
ton. The natives ON the island re-
ported that the eruption has been in
operation almost constantly since the
middle of May. Loud explosions oc-
cur every few moments, and large
quantities of rock are thrown up hum
dreds of feet into the air. AT night
numerous streams of molten lava can
be seen coursing down the mountain
sides, illuminating the whole country
round about. Earthquake shocks are
of frequent occurrence on the island.
A CRIME CONFESSED.
The Dora brings news of the murder
of Bishop Seghers, a Catholic mission
ary, by his companion on the night of
November Goth last. The scene of the
tragedy was on the banks of the Yukon
river, about 500 miles from its mouth,
fully sixty miles from any human
habitation. The murderer is Frank
Fuller, Il young man from Portland,
Ore, who accompanied the bishop as
and servant. He gave him
self up, but no cause for the deed is
given. The murderer is now in Sitka,
where he will be tried.
Bishop Seghers left for Alaska last
summer, intending to do missionary
work among the Indians. Fuller was
taken along, and the two started for
Wilderness from the seashOre. What
happened after that is speculation, ex-
cept that Fuller asserts that his victim
was shot through the head. Fuller
staid in Yukon valley throughout the
winter and came overland in the
spring.
SEALING VESSELS SEIZED.
The Dora also brought information
of the seizure of two small vessels tor
sealing within the limits prescribed by
the United States government. The
crafts in the tolls are the American
schooner Challenger. thirty tons, from
Seattle, and the British steam schoon-
er Annie Beck. from Victoria. Both
seizures were made by the United
States revenue cutter Richard Rush,
and the vessels and crews sent on to
Sitka.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
Some Friendly Witnesses before
the Com issiOn.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming, July 1S.-The
Pacific Railroad Investigating Com
mission held a public session here
to-day and a number of witnesses
were examined, among them Francis
f. Warren, Ex-Governor of the Terri
tory; c. w. River, Mayor of
Cheyenne, and f. A. Slack, editor of
the Cheyenne San. Ex-Governor
Warren, in reply to questions by the
Commission, testified that for some
years past the Union Pacific Company
had taken no part in the politics OF
the Territory. In reply to question
by Governor Pattison as to why the
United States Government should
assist the Union Pacific to build
branches any more than it should
assist any other road to do so, the wit
ness said the Government should only
assist the line up to the extent that
the Government would be assisting
itself, and the Union Pacific should be
held to strict accountability for its
debt; but, as in the case of any other
debtor, it should be assisted by its
creditor into a position where it could
pay.

THE HAWAIIAN TROUBLE.
Governmental Protective Meas
ures for American Citizens

New YORK, July 1s.-A Washington
special says the tender OF United
States vessel as convoy to the Queen
of the Hawaiian Islands, is more than
mere courtesy. Our Government
will send trusted officers with the ship
and undoubtedly new instructions to
the commanders of our naval vessels
which may be at Honolulu.
If there is any need for immediate
communication with our authorities,
the coast survey steamer Hassler,
which was sent to act as convoy, will
at once return to the United States as
bearer. The Government feels the
need of more speedy information than
can be obtained byregular steamers and
it is thought to have the best sailing
vessel at the disposition of our repre-
sentatives in the islands, in the alb
sence of telegraphic communication.
This juncture will undoubtedly result
in movement to secure cable con-
nection with Hawaii at an early day.
ollNloN ON IHE Silt
Some friends of Carter, the repre-
sentative ofthe Hawaiian Government
are of the opinion that he may be
recalled to serve as Prime Minister
and form Il new cabinet. All admit
that Kalakua can only retain the
crown by acting as a mere tigurehead
and by carrying out the wishes of the
g. 81, ~
affairs of the islands, and who repre-
sent its wealth and industries.
AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-No adj
ditional information in regard to the
condition of affairs in Hawaii has
been received at the state or navy
departments since the telegram Of
July 5th saying that affairs were then
quiet. The United States steamer,
Adams is now at Honolulu where she
was ordered long before the present
outbreak and the United States
steamer, Vandalia and Junitia are
now on their way to the same point,
and the former is expected to arrive
there in about two weeks and the lat
ter in six weeks. Instructions for the
guidance of the commanding officers
will be sent to Honolulu by the
Pacific mail steamship, Australia,
which sails from San Francisco to-
morrow, and the same steamer will
also carry instructions to the United
States minister at Honolulu. 1t is
said at the state department that all
possible arrangements have been
made for the protection of American
interests at Hawaii.

The Yield il Said to be Far He.
low the AverOge.

SAN Francisco, July 1S.-Secre-
tary Whetmore, of the State Viticul-
tural Board, speaking OF the various
sections of California regarding the
grape crop, said: "The yield will not
be large as last year. Very few
places show any increase. and most
report from one-fourth to one-third
less than last year. Napa and So
noma counties will probably not have
over seventy per cent of the yield OF
last year and as these are the two
largest producing counties in the State
a good idea of the general decrease
may be gained from them. My re-
ports from correspondents are gener-
al, they extend from Shasta down to
Fresno"

"The prosperity of the South is
without doubt confined almost ex-
clusively to the cities. The farmers
condition does not improve
The above item, taken from
Southern paper. describes the real
condition of affairs over the whole
country. Statistics concerning the
trade of cities are always accessible
to the daily papers published there
in, and by comparing one year with
another it is easily ascertained
whether there has been dininution
or an increase in the volume OF bus
mess done; but whether the price is
low or high for farm products or
manufactured articles, the city deal
ers and tradesmen have fixed charg-
es for handling them, and the thing
handled by them is invariably done
at a profit. This is one of the rea-
sons why the cities are prospecting
and why they do not suffer for a
want of money. We do not mention
these matters with view Of array
ing the sentiment of the rural popu-
lation against the business interests
of cities, but refer to them as incl
dent to that lack of appreciation
prevailing in the cities for that de-
preston that his orertakcn agricul-
ture. There is positiveness dis
played by the representatives Of city
interests in public bodies and con-
ventions that might be initiated
